Chapter 145 To save face and suffer the consequences

He Daqi was very concerned about this matter. He was afraid that he would wake up and open the penguin on his phone to find that his image had been added to the penguin character dress-up.

Zhou Huimin can do this.

By then, he would probably be laughed to death by his classmates at the Beijing Film Academy and his few friends from the Young Emperor crew.

When He Daqi mentioned this, Zhou Huimin began to complain:
"Don't mention it. After Wang Rui helped me make the contact, I went to their headquarters during my concert in Guangzhou. I just wanted to buy 1% of the shares and invest in them to launch a new feature.
The talks went well at first, but when they heard I wanted to buy 1%, they just went wild, praising their own performance and insisting I get 5% of the shares.

"Wang Rui had previously said this company wasn't a good investment. How could it be that it wasn't a good investment? He was just afraid of not getting any investment. Would I spend over 200 million yuan to invest in an internet company?"

"More than 200 million? Only to buy 5%? This company is so valuable? Are they planning to kill the pig?" He Daqi was also shocked.

"Wang Rui has been urging me to buy more. He even showed me their shareholding structure. Besides the 30% owned by their own team, the rest is all fund investment. If they need money, they should go to the fund. Why would they drag me into investing? Also, with over 200 million, you can't buy 5%, only 4%."

After Zhou Huimin finished complaining, her little mouth was busy and she ate several grapes in one breath.

He Daqi was deeply envious, not because he envied Zhou Huimin for being rich, but because he envied her for being able to invest. He was restricted by the system and could not do this. Even though he had shares in Yonghui Qiming, he never cared about it because he was afraid of stepping on a landmine and being counted as an investment by the system.

He also wanted to do some fancy work and make some money, but unfortunately he was not allowed to do it.

At this time, He Daqi's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Wang Rui who had just been mentioned.

"Brother Rui, what's wrong?"

"Has Vivian gone back and is she with you now?" Wang Rui asked anxiously.

"Yeah, you're looking for her? Wouldn't it be better to just call her?"

Wang Rui gave a wry smile and then began to persuade: "She blocked me. Tell her that I have found out what happened to Penguin Company.

The operating team and investors are having a falling out. Coincidentally, several funds want to exit, and a major shareholder of the founding team also wants to sell shares. Now Penguin is in a bit of a mess.
They can hold on to the major shareholders in the founding team, but they cannot hold on to others, especially since one investment bank already holds a large stake. If they continue to buy more, the operation side will not be able to manage the company.
That's why they were so enthusiastic when Vivian arrived that day. She holds shares personally, and she is famous. After the announcement of her investment, the number of Penguin users will increase significantly, which is better than any other channel for Penguin.
Furthermore, going public next year will also leverage Vivian's fame to increase exposure, as they are going public in Hong Kong. After the listing, since Vivian is an investment, they can dilute their shares, and the operator can even buy it back at a premium. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You should also persuade her that this investment is a sure win."

It can be seen that Wang Rui was really anxious. He said a lot in one breath. He Daqi was just about to reply: Gamblers will not have a good ending.

Before he could finish, Zhou Huimin started complaining, "That sounds good, but this is over 200 million. If there's even a little bit of volatility after the listing, I'll lose tens of millions. It's easy for me to make money, but I can't waste it like this, right?"

Wang Rui was so excited when he heard Zhou Huimin's voice that he started to persuade her again: "Vivian, you know Little Superman, right? He initially invested 5 million and 20% of the shares, but last year he sold this 20% for more than 20 million. He did not value the mainland market.
We're different. We're moving here because of the rapid growth of the mainland market, aren't we? You should also be able to see that this company will be very successful in the future based on the number of users alone."

He Daqi was stunned. Sister Zhou had such foresight? Was she optimistic about the mainland market? He turned and looked at Zhou Huimin in surprise, as if he was meeting her for the first time.

In fact, after listening to Wang Rui's persuasion, Zhou Huimin sneered and said, "I came to the mainland just to tie He Daqi down. I don't know anything about the mainland market or its large scale."

As a result, when she saw He Daqi's slightly envious and admiring eyes, Zhou Huimin immediately felt like she had eaten a bite of ice cream, and her heart was very happy. Because of the last incident, she always felt that there was a gap between her and He Daqi, and she didn't dare to make a fuss. Now, facing He Daqi's eyes, she nodded without thinking and said, in order to show off:

"Yes, I'm really optimistic about the mainland market! It's only a little over 200 million, I'm taking a gamble! I'm calling the bank right now! Ask Penguin if they can come over tomorrow morning. If they can, I'll invest!"

After she finished speaking, she regretted it. This batch of packaging was a bit too much. It cost more than 200 million!
But now she felt a little conflicted about taking her words back, as He Daqi was right in front of her. Faced with the choice between losing half a year's income and embarrassing herself in front of He Daqi, Zhou Huimin chose the former with a bleeding heart.

"I'll contact them right away!" Wang Rui hung up the phone immediately.

Zhou Huimin hesitated to speak!

"You...really investing? That's over 200 million!"

"Sister has plenty of money!" Zhou Huimin cried with joy and took a tissue to wipe the corners of her eyes.

Then I really called my bank’s customer service manager.

She kept comforting herself in her heart: It's okay! It's okay! Even if the stock market fluctuates, I will only lose tens of millions at most. I can earn it back in two months of hard work. As long as I don't embarrass myself in front of Da Qi, this little money is nothing.

He Daqi was a little surprised by Zhou Huimin's courage. He didn't expect that Sister Zhou would spend money like a fool.

"Daqi, what's with that look in your eyes?"

"What an admiring look! Sister Zhou, you are so generous!" He Daqi gave a thumbs up.

"Come on, follow me upstairs. I'll tell you about my investment philosophy."

"You're not having a concert tonight?"

"Open! But it's more important for me to teach you now." Zhou Huimin gritted her teeth and dragged He Daqi upstairs.

He Daqi had only taken a few steps when his phone rang again. It was Wang Rui.

"Hey, Rui Ge."

"Da Qi, tell Vivian that Penguin has agreed, but they need her to hold a press conference tomorrow when she signs the investment agreement. They are contacting reporters.
The two sides will sign the contract directly in front of the reporters. Of course, this is just a formality. Penguin said that it will help Vivian negotiate with the fund she wants to exit and try to save her money. Wang Rui sounded quite excited.

"Wang Rui! You are really fast!" Zhou Huimin spoke almost in a nasal tone, because she clenched her teeth so tightly that she could not open her mouth.

After she finished speaking, she snatched He Daqi's phone and hung up, then dragged He Daqi upstairs.
